5. Invest In Yourself

Go to seminars or mastermind groups in your field. Take a trip across the country to meet people you admire. Buy online courses to improve your business acumen or even your social skills.

Honestly, I never used to think like that; I used to say those things were “a waste of money.” (Truthfully, many are.) But if one high-level, $5,000 course can help you earn $10,000 more per year over your entire life, it starts to make sense.

Money is worthless until you spend it — so you might as well spend it on improving yourself. Invest in one product or event next year and see how much it boosts your career.
